CINCINNATI --- This is a BIG year for Xavier fans as the Musketeers prepare for their first season in the BIG EAST Conference. It's also a big year for fans to enjoy some fun promotions, halftime entertainment and giveaways at select games.

One of the unique additions for this season is the Chris Mack Bobblehead that will be given to the first 3,000 fans at the DePaul game on Feb. 19. Every fan at the first BIG EAST game on Dec. 31 vs. St. John's will receive a free commemorative t-shirt, while the first 3,000 fans at the March 6 Villanova game take home a BIG EAST Inaugural Season hat.

The promotions schedule gets started on opening night against Gardner-Webb on Nov. 8 with a team schedule poster courtesy of TriHealth. The team schedule magnet will be distributed to the first 3,000 fans at the Nov. 15 Morehead State game, while the first 1,000 kids 14 and under get a team photo at the Dec. 10 Evansville game.
